Fairy Tail Space Mage

The spring he unearthed naturally refers to the "singularity" magic. Although small, it is inexhaustible, and with careful cultivation, it might become a stable source of income in the future.

The "large chunks of gold" are storage systems for the indigestible magic of the "Demon Star," "Chaos Star," and "Dragon Star." Although it takes a lot of time to collect the magic again after use, having powerful magic as a foundation allows one to accept higher-paying and more dangerous quests.

Leaving aside the unexpected use of the "Demon Star," when Elsa recovered from her surprise, she first cried out in alarm, worried about the guild master's safety.

Of course, she underestimated Makarov's abilities.

Yes, the "Defense Magic Circle - Three Pillars" couldn't arrive in time. But even so, Makarov was still not defeated!

The power unleashed by "Demon Star" is indeed equivalent to super magic. However, it is, after all, an area-of-effect super magic. The damage doesn't hit a single point. Makarov, at the cost of releasing most of his magical power, ultimately defended against the attack of "Demon Star" in a way unknown to Sora.

Of course, Makarov wasn't unscathed either. After the smoke cleared, Sora saw Makarov sitting cross-legged within the "Defense Magic Circle - Three Pillars," recovering his magic power through meditation. Sora understood that this battle was far from over.

"Elsa, it's your turn now. Cut through the guild master's defensive magic circle just like you cut through my 'Circle of the Sky'!" Sora released Elsa from the "Circle of the Sky," and then rode the "Circle of the Sky" upwards at high speed, as if he wouldn't stop until he reached the position of the sun.

Elsa didn't know what Sora was going to do next, but seeing that the president was alright, she was relieved and followed Sora's instructions to begin cutting Makarov's "defense magic circle".

Yes, Elsa donned the "Heavenly Wheel Armor." Then, using the "Heavenly Wheel Cycle Sword," he began cutting through the "Defense Magic Circle - Three Pillar Gods."

Despite her doubts and confusion about Sora's terrifying attack, Erza had many questions she urgently wanted to ask him. However, she hadn't forgotten that she was currently in the S-class exams, fighting against Makarov, the guild master of Fairy Tail and a mage with the title of one of the "Ten Wizard Saints."

Makarov, who was meditating quietly in the "Defense Magic Circle - Three Pillar Gods", was not as calm as he appeared on the surface.

"That brat Kong, he flew so high again this time, is he going to pull some kind of 'trick' this time?"

"I thought that was just ordinary chaotic magic, something I could withstand even without the 'Three Pillars Gods.' I never imagined it was demonic power whose nature had been altered! You brat, do you really want to kill this old man?!"

"Huh, the 'Three Pillars of Gods' are about to be broken open? How is this possible!... Elsa?... Could this be... the principle of a saw cutting through wood? How did you even think of that!"

The above describes Makarov's inner thoughts, even though he appeared to be meditating quietly; in reality, his mind was far from at peace.

As the Three Divine Pillars were sliced ​​apart and vanished into fragments by the Heavenly Wheel of Cycles, Makarov opened his eyes and stood up!

Elsa, who was preparing to launch a close-range attack with "Heavenly Wheel: Five-Star Sword," was startled and quickly distanced himself from Makarov.

!

Elsa now seemed a bit "frightened." The main reason, of course, was that Kong, responsible for defense, had somehow disappeared into the sky. Without Kong by his side, Elsa couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Makarov no longer cared about Elsa's skills. The moment he stood up, he unleashed his full "Gigantification" magic and swung his fist fiercely above his head!

In a blinding flash, before Elsa could see anything clearly, he was thrown away by the shaking beneath his feet and the shockwave from the explosion in the sky!

Of course, accompanying all of this was a piercing, supersonic sonic boom—the sound of something approaching at high speed!—followed by the sonic waves of an explosion that drowned out all other sounds!

Fortunately, Elsa's "Heavenly Wheel Armor" allows her to fly. So, after being knocked a great distance away, Elsa used the "Heavenly Wheel Armor" to stabilize herself in the air and avoid further damage.

Sora then "moved" to Erza's side. He looked at the gigantic Makarov in the distance, whose knees were buried in the ground but who was still mostly unharmed, and couldn't help but sigh.

“No, Erza. I’ve used all my special moves… Chairman Makarov is indeed too strong. I’m afraid we have to stop here today…”

Kong was a little frustrated. Just now, he flew high into the sky, took the "Earth Star" out of the other dimension, wrapped it in a two-layered sphere of sky, and slammed it down hard on Makarov on the ground!

Although the "Earth Star" is just a "ball of earth" formed from various miscellaneous materials, it has a very high density and a mass greater than that of steel!

The power inherent in its own magic circle, plus the power of the two "Sky Spheres," creates: three power sources + gravity from falling from a great height = the kinetic energy of a small meteorite!

Makarov actually blocked the force that came with this kinetic energy from the front!

The air force suffered a huge blow!

Just moments ago, he was full of righteous indignation, feeling that he could threaten the "Ten Wizard Saints." However, despite creating so many conditions and fully utilizing his two strongest techniques, he still couldn't defeat Makarov.

As expected, Sora, who has been in the Fairy Tail world for three years, still has a long way to go on the road to becoming stronger.

“Kong, don’t be discouraged… Although I don’t know what magic you used just now, or before, we are still in good condition. But the guild leader is different… Besides, the guild leader is getting old. As long as we can continue to exert ourselves, with the guild leader’s stamina…” Elsa said, glancing at the guild leader in the distance with a strange look.

Kong noticed it too.

After the guild leader grew to gigantic size, he resembled a majestic giant. His gesture of swinging his fist towards the sky was incredibly stylish. Moreover, his fist was wreathed in flames, and even bore scorch marks from its collision with the empty "Earth Star"—truly a display of power!

But why is the president still motionless even after the empty "Earth Star" has been shattered?

"The president doesn't seem to have lost consciousness..." Sora examined him carefully and confirmed.

"Yes, then why..." Elsa asked, puzzled.

"You two! What are you standing there staring at? Come and help me... I just pulled a muscle in my back and can't move!" Makarov turned his head with difficulty, and a giant-like low-frequency noise rang in Sora and Elsa's ears.

Sora and Elsa exchanged a glance and quickly ran over.

(The S-level exam is now over...)

Chapter 040 Ghost Girl

While Sora and Elsa were frantically taking care of Makarov, who had pulled a muscle in his back, a little girl floated down to their side.

"Are you alright...? This is terrible!... You could have dodged it just now, why did you have to force yourself...? You really are Yuri's child. You look exactly like Yuri..."

Hearing Makarov's pitiful groans, the little girl paced anxiously around him. Strangely, the three people beside her couldn't see her or hear what she had just said.

Perhaps it was because he had encountered the ghost girl before. For a moment, Sora seemed to see the shadow of the little girl beside him.

She had long, curly, golden hair, big, bright green eyes, and a pair of cute little white wings on her head... For some reason, the little girl was only wearing a white cloak and was even barefoot...

"What's wrong, Kong?"

Elsa noticed that Sora was staring blankly at the spot above her head, but when she looked up, she couldn't see anything, so she couldn't help but ask.

"No, it's nothing..."

Kong snapped out of his daze. When he rubbed his eyes and tried to find the shadow again, it was too late.

"Who is that..." Kong's mind was filled with questions.

The manga only showed Lisanna's return, and the forum only revealed the backstories of a few main characters; he knew nothing of the being residing on Tenrou Island. However, he still felt the figure was somewhat familiar. He was certain he had seen it somewhere before.

……

"See you next year! Oh, and please don't cast that spell that burns the forest again... Many of my friends lost their homes because of that spell!"

Even though no one could see her or hear her, the little girl continued to wave goodbye to the departing group of people with great enthusiasm.

On the ship, Kong looked back at the lush green scenery of Tianlang Island and inexplicably felt a reluctance to destroy it.

"Next time, I won't use those powerful spells..." Sora muttered unconsciously.

……

Although the victory was due to an unexpected incident where the president "pushed his back," a victory is a victory.

The S-class exam in Fairy Tail world 780 years ago was passed by Erza, who was only 15 years old!

A 15-year-old S-class mage—this completely breaks the record for "the youngest S-class mage in Fairy Tail"!

This honor will be etched in the Fairy Tail guild's history. Perhaps it was for this reason that Makarov made the final exam, in which the guild master served as the examiner, particularly difficult.

Erza is too young. Without the corresponding abilities, he will not be able to shoulder the burden of an S-class mage.

Besides the daily high-difficulty S-rank quests, S-rank mages also represent the face of the guild. They not only have to be careful about their words and actions, but also often face challenges from S-rank mages of other guilds!

This is definitely not as easy as it seems on the surface. At least a few days later, after hearing Erza's complaints, Sora began to hesitate about whether to postpone obtaining the title of S-class mage.

After the S-level exam ended and a lively celebration banquet followed, the year 781 arrived immediately.

And in the new year, Kong's life has undergone new changes.

Both Mira and Erza, who used to love partnering with Sora the most, have been deliberately avoiding Sora since the S-class exams, for some reason.

The two refused Sora's requests for services several times in a row, leaving Sora puzzled and very disappointed.

Conversely, Kaoru, who used to often team up with others, now refuses all invitations and clings to Sora wholeheartedly. It's as if she has regressed to the stage of childhood when she clung to her parents.

Sora was completely baffled by all these unexpected changes. Unfortunately, no one could tell Sora the reason for these changes.

Sora could only put all these things aside and concentrate on reading, meditating, cultivating, and taking on commissions... Everything returned to the way it was before, that plain and unchanging daily routine.

Perhaps the only things that have changed are Sora's ever-growing magic and his ever-accumulating knowledge and wealth.

"Sister Mira, what exactly happened during the last S-class exam? Why are you and Sister Erza both starting to distance yourselves from Brother Kong? Did he do something 'strange' to you?... That's impossible. Based on my usual observations, Brother Kong shouldn't be that anxious..."

Lisanna had always been very attentive to and supportive of her sister and Sora's relationship. Therefore, she couldn't hide the changes between the two of them from her.

Lisanna's change in addressing Sora from "Sora" to "Sora-nii" occurred shortly before the S-class exam. This reflects the close relationship that Sora and the three siblings, Mira and her brother, have developed.

"That's not how it is. What nonsense are you talking about! Of course, Sora isn't that kind of person... Don't you know how 'blockhead' he is?" Mira first denied shyly, then unconsciously added a complaint about Sora. However, it was clear that her feelings for Sora hadn't faded.

"Then, what exactly happened?... Could it be that Brother Kong has fallen for someone else?! He's fallen for Sister Elsa?! Or is he two-timing her?!"

Lisanna activated her fantasy mode. Regarding the specifics of "two-timing," she imagined two scenarios: a "harem drama" and a "love triangle." Both scenarios intrigued Lisanna. Her imaginary circuits were thoroughly satisfied!

"No! No!... Lisanna, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll flick..." Mila reached out, intending to flick Lisanna's forehead. Lisanna turned pale with fright and quickly covered her mouth.

Although Mila herself was unaware of it, her "forehead flicking" skill was absolutely masterful.

Mira only needs to flick someone's forehead lightly like this to cause them pain and numbness for several minutes. The effect is even more terrifying than Laxus's lightning strike!

Seeing Lisanna cover her mouth, Mira stopped flicking her forehead and let her go. Then, seemingly somewhat disappointed and listless, Mira explained why she had distanced herself from Kong:

"I'm sorry, Lisanna. I made you worry... Nothing special happened during the last S-class exam... except that I realized I'd been abandoned by that person without even noticing..."

“I can’t go on like this. I can’t just keep thinking about competing with Elsa, or about being with that person… If I don’t re-examine myself and improve myself, I’ll lose the right to be by that person’s side…”

"I must leave that person temporarily... to break free from my dependence on him, to become stronger... and also to see myself more clearly..."

"Waaah... Sister Mira, please stop... As your sister, I will stay by your side all this time!... I believe you will become stronger and more charming... I'm sure you'll qualify for the S-rank exam this year, and then pass it!"

Looking at her sister and hearing her words, Lisanna burst into tears for some reason. She threw herself into Mira's arms, unsure whether she was comforting her sister or being comforted by her.

(Feel free to save this if you like, thank you!)

Chapter 041 Infection

While Mira was secretly working hard after leaving Kong, Elsa was doing the same...

After returning from Tenrou Island, Elsa realized that her dependence on Sora had unknowingly reached a terrifying level! The space called "security" that gathered around Sora was like a drug, making Elsa somewhat unable to stop.

Other girls might have been willing to succumb to the protection of trusted companions. But Elsa could not.

This sense of security, this warm and happy feeling, all turned into the ferocious questions of my former companions in the "paradise" in my dream!

"Why did you abandon us, Sister Elsa!"

"Why is it that only you are happy, while we still have to suffer in 'paradise'!"

"Sister Elsa, have you betrayed us?"

"Elsa, have you really forgotten my kindness and chosen someone else instead!" The last figure, hidden deep in Elsa's heart, suddenly turned its face in the darkness, waking Elsa from his nightmare!
